It seems James Cameron can still smell the fresh paint. Although a surprising disappointment at the box office last year, the auteur's epic IMAX epic Ghosts of the Abyss will get the two-disc special edition treatment on April 27th. Buena Vista Home Entertainment will offer both the 60-minute theatrical cut and an extended 90-minute version, each presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen and Dolby 5.1 Extras include the "Reflections From The Deep" documentary, a "The ROV Experience" multi-angle feature which always you to dive to the ocean floor and cruise all the way through the ship, and the theatrical trailer. Retail will be $29.95.

Stands with a Fist - 12:50am

Just in from MGM Home Entertainment are more new spring catalog announcements. Debuting on May 25th is a lineup of western favorites, including a movie-only version of the theatrical cut of Dances with Wolves (currently available as a two-disc special edition featuring the extended cut of the film), as well as The Last Valley, Junior Bonner (which also features an audio commentary by Sam Peckinpah biographers Paul Seydor, Garner Simmons and David Weddle), Duel in the Sun, Guns of the Magnificent Seven, The Magnificent Seven Ride, A Minute to Pray, A Second to Die, Hell in the Pacific, Custer of the West, Too Late the Hero and Shalako. All are presented in non-anamorphic widescreen, except the two Magnificent Seven flicks and Too Late a Hero, which are in anamorphic widescreen, and Duel of the Sun and, inexplicably, Dances with Wolves, which are in 4:3 full screen only. All include trailers, and retail will cost you $14.95 a pop.

Due on May 18th is yet another title that seems to have been rushed to market to capitalize on Governor Schwarzenegger, Stay Hungry. This Bob Rafelson favorite includes a remastered 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer, Dolby mono track, audio commentary with Rafelson and stars Jeff Bridges and Sally Field and the theatrical trailer. Retail will be a cheapie $14.95.

Last but not least we have Man of La Mancha, which will be released on April 20th, along with an Elvis Presley three-peat, Follow That Dream, I Could Go on Singing and Billie. All feature 4:3 full screen transfers and Dolby mono soundtracks, plus no extras. List price will go for $14.95 each.

Woo-Vision - 12:50am
